WEST CONCORD.

August 23.-C. II. Smith has COM
menced quite extensive changes and
improvements upon his buildings, hay-
ing finished some good rooms in what
was formerly his wood shed, taken
down his blacksmith shop so as to
place convenient sheds on the same
ground, while he will build new shop
west of his house.
j. G. Taylor and Geo. I. Higgins
harnessed their horses together with
Sherwood steel harness, and attached
them to scraper, and were putting
the track upon the old fair ground in
condition to exercise some of the horses
which give promise of good trotting
qualities, when Higgins, who had
charge of the team had occasion to
leave them just for a moment. The
horses immediately improved the OPP
portunity to have a little race on their
own account. The span made first
rate time without doubt, but as Ilig-
gins and Taylor were little too ner-
vous just at that time to make accur-
ate record of the race, and as O. +.
Harvey, Esq, who was on the ground
at the time fails to make report also,
the records of the races of 1887 will not
be graced with the best time ever made
at the West Concord course. As it
was, the team succeeded in demoral-
izing the oat fields in the grounds, and
in passing out Of the field the scraper
collided with o post and lost its con-
nection with the horses, when they
broke apart and one of them becoming
entangled in the harness concluded to
lie down and wait for its owner to
come to its relief. Fortunately the
harness was but slightly damaged, and
neither horse was seriously injured,
Morton & Lawrence have recently
lost eight hogs at their slaughter
house, finding most of them dead in
their pen, they apparently having
been in perfect health twelve hours

Mr.. L. X. Drew wife, and two brothers
of Magog, P. O., have been stopping
at the Stewart House during the past
week Mr.. Drew was returning home
from Brunswick Springs, but on reach
ing Island Pond he was suddenly pros
trated with heart trouble. BY the
aid of medical counsel and good nurs-
ing he had SO much improved as to be
able to pursue his homeward journey
last Wednesday. We found the Drews
very pleasant people, and they left us
with very favorable impressions of Is
land Pond hospitality. We hope they
may favor us with another visit at
some future time under more favor

close questioning we find that they
kept pretty clear Of that portion Of the
lake under the jurisdiction of the
State OF Maine, not being DESTROYS Of
falling into the hands of the authoiit-

prohibitory law.
Among the sick at the present time
are Miss Tincare, sister Of James Tin
care of North Concord. She has but
slight chances for recovery. Judge
Turner is very sick, his life being de
SPARED of yesterday, but to-day Dr.
Johnson thinks he has good chance
for recovery. George, son of G.. w.
Richardson, of the Corners, is having
a severe contest with fever, the result
of which seems to be very much in
doubt just now. Arson Cutting and
Henry llendrick are each nursing u
fever with the prospect very much in
their favor. Miss Gilfilin, who has
been very sick, is gaining nicely at
The present time.

The Rev. i. S. Fisher, and Messrs.
A. f. Nichols, j, E. Taylor and 0.
Chase, all of st. Johnsbury, were in
town last Tuesday and Wednesday,
and made the HERALD Office pleasant
call during their round of observation
and business. They were here as rep
reese ntatives of Mizpah Lodge of Per-
fiction, No. 40, A.'.A.'.S.' r., of st.
Johnsbury, and conferred the degrees
upon eight candidates of this place.
After the work a banquet was served
at the Stewart House. The outcome
of this visit will probably be the form
alton of a Lodge of Perfection in Island
Pond, there being no lodge of the
kind north of st. Johnsbury. The
visitors speak in the highest terms Of
the manner in which they were re-
ceived here, asserting that they had
had a "royal good time" and ex-
pressed themselves as ready to come
again should occasion require, and an
invitation be extended.
